I continue to be utterly mystified.

45. Every Democratic Senator* who later ran for President voted for it. That is no coincidence.

And it doesn't show that it was good judgment.

However, thank heaven, we now have a chance to vote for someone who did not help sell the war to Americans, did not vote for and who presciently said it would de-stabilize the entire Middle East. Also unlike Hillary, he also voted against the "surge" in Afghanistan.

Apologies don't bring back the dead or heal limbs or minds. A war vote is something you need to get right at the time. All else is useless. However, speaking of apologies, Hillary wrote in her book of becoming more and more convinced, with each condolence letter she wrote, that the war was a mistake. Still, she never spoke up publicly, until she wrote that book, clearly as a prelude to her 2016 run. And she still has not apologized, though, as I said, those words would be empty and might only make survivors feel worse. Then again, I suppose hearing the war was a mistake makes them feel awful, too.
